Sparlock worked his magic this weekend!

by 00DAD in

yes it's true, i got to experience first hand the awesome magic powers of sparlock, the warrior wizard!tm.

this last weekend a friend of mine asked me if i could take him to the mechanic's to pick up his car after being serviced.

now this friend of mine (who is not and has never been a jw) is the the one and only friend that i've remained in constant contact with through the dark quarter century of my life when i was a witness.

Holy Shit, this is AWESOME!! (pardon my french, lol)

I just found out about Sparlock yesterday (I don't keep up with JW stuff as often anymore), and I'm COMPLETELY ENJOYING all of the videos on Youtube and commentaries elsewhere! I'm sure the GB are PISSED about all us crazy 'postates who are runnin' around creating T-shirts and mugs out of Sparlock!! I can't wait to order a few shirts and wear them around town! Let me know how to get ahold of a few action figures, too! I know the perfect person to leave one of these toys with... the f'ing elder who tried to disfellowship me!! BWAHAHAHAAHAHHHAAH!!!

Fade_away: You can twist the Bible to mean what you want it too. Like that joke that says Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it cause in John 12:49 Jesus says "For I did not speak of my own accord".....

I am ROTFLMAO at your comment! I'm a Honda fan, so when I saw your comment I busted out laughing!! I didn't realize Jesus drove a Honda, too!

Proof that shows just how intelligent JW's are!!!

by Sour Grapes in

yesterday during the public talk, the elder was talking.

about the reality god's kingdom said "that 7.5 million.

people would not spend billions of hours going from door.

civicsi00

Wow, really? 7.5 million people wouldn't be preaching for NOTHING, would they?? Count me a believer, too! Where do I sign up?? I just love their convincing reasoning. It's no wonder they keep coming back week after week when your brain is DEAD!

ROTFLMAO!! Can't count your time if you're not wearing a skirt?? YEP that sounds about right! Gotta keep the womenz in line! Since when did Jehbooboo care if the women are wearing slacks or not??

Impact of climate change may be underestimated - Article worth reading

Nothing will drastically change until it is too late. The people who control the oil, control the sheeple, and it's ALL for MONEY and POWER. Sad to say, but oil has transformed our lives for the better but it will also transform our lives for the worse when it becomes too expensive to extract.

Theocratic War Strategy

Hi! I hate to change the topic of your thread, but I read the next Question listed on that same page and I was SHOCKED!

I can't believe they actually taught that Jehovah God is the "other" Chief Prince in Heaven! LOL This is hilarious!!

OK so.. if Jehovah is the other Chief Prince, shouldn't the Bible text read, "Michael, one of the two chief princes in heaven [the other being Jehovah],..."

Just why would god create dinos??

by highdose in

the jw answer to this is that there must have been some purpose for them that we don't yet understand.. but dinos were pretty violent, basic animals who killed without mercy.

i know not all of them but alot of them did.

the ones that were vegetarian ate huge masses of vegatation, how is that productive to the earth?.

civicsi00

God didn't create them. The Satan the Devil put the bones in rocks to confuse humankind.

You may laugh, but my mother-in-law ACTUALLY stated this one time... of course we laughed our a$$es off at her later. But only a true Dub would come up with such a preposterous statement.

I've grappled with this question for a while now, but I've yet to arrive at a satisfactory answer. Maybe when we die, we'll find out..?

Wait, Wait... WHAT?! Dec 15th, WT Study - This bugs me

by civicsi00 in

ok so i decided to just take a quick peek at the dec 15th study edition and i couldn't even get past the very first article!

it's a "personal" story of a jw who was born in 1928 and his experiences from that era.

what is the first thing printed on this page?

OK so I decided to just take a quick peek at the Dec 15th Study Edition and I couldn't even get past the very FIRST article! It's a "personal" story of a JW who was born in 1928 and his experiences from that era. What is the first thing printed on this page? In the center, it reads:

"When I was born in the southern United States in 1928, segregation of whites and black was the law. Breaking it could lead to imprisonment or worse."

Then the opening sentence reads like this:

"At that time in parts of the United States, white and black Jehovah's Witnesses had to have separate congregations, circuits, and districts."

Hello?? Didn't Rutherford happen to spend some jailtime just 10 years prior to this for that stupid Mystery book? Wasn't he also breaking the Prohibition law by smuggling alcohol from Canada? Wasn't this also around the time that they were raising the issue about saluting the flag?

If Jehovah's Witnesses were TRULY God's chosen people, wouldn't they have the sense to break the law and unite black/white/brown/<insert race here> to PROVE they were RIGHT back then?

Granted I wasn't around in that era, so I cannot fully understand what it was like. If I'm wrong about any of this, please let me know..

How do you know when the Governing Body speaks for itself, and when it is supposed to speak for Jehovah?

by dgp in

in the catholic church, the pope is considered "infallible" when he speaks ex cathedra.

that is to say, he is not infallible when he speaks about things that don't have to do with religion.

for example, he may say whatever he pleases about economics, but no one will hold that catholic economists will have sinned against god if they consider that the pope is wrong.. the important point here is that the pope is thought to be infallible only when he speaks about matters strictly related to the church.. the wikipedia has this:.

Don't forget that whenever the GB realizes they've made a mistake in a teaching, it's ALWAYS was the fault of "Jehovah's people", and NEVER them directly. Placing the blame on the sheeple always allows them to escape for another day.. <sigh>
